going home | JHS
“Thanks for doing this, by the way.” You stop staring out the passenger side window to turn to Hoseok, soft smile on your face.
“It’s no problem, you know.”
“Yeah, but it’s late, and I live kind of far away. You didn’t have to offer to drive me home,” you try to explain yourself. “It was really nice of you to do that.”
“I wasn’t gonna let you take a bus home this late,” Hoseok says like it’s the most obvious thing in the world. In a way, it sort of is.
You leave the conversation there, not feeling the need to continue it further. What else is there to say? Hoseok offered to drive you home after a jazz band competition at a campus that was fifty minutes away from your off-campus apartment. You’re almost certain that it’s because he lives in the same area as you, and not because of anything else. It’s not as if the two of you speak very often. He said he would. You thanked him. He said it wasn’t a problem. The end.
“Dunno why they have comps so far away from campus,” Hoseok says, trying to keep the conversation going. “Would be better for all of us if everyone came to us.”
“Life can’t always be one-sided like that,” you say with a laugh. “But yeah, I agree. It’s a hassle.”
“You took the bus to get there, right?” Hoseok asks. “With your trombone?”
“It wasn’t that bad,” you tell him, shrugging. “Nobody sat next to me because I had it with me, which was nice.”
“But you were planning on taking a bus back to campus? This late?”
“I’ve done it before.” You shrug again. It never really seemed like such a big deal. Granted, other competitions were much closer to campus than this one, but you still weren’t planning on making a mountain out of a molehill. You take the bus all of the time. It was just nice of Hoseok to offer to drive you home, this one time.
“Oh,” Hoseok says. “Well, you know I’m happy to drive you home. It’s really not that big of an issue.”
“Oh, you don’t have to do that for me--” You begin.
“It’s not a problem. I think we only live a couple streets apart, so it’s convenient for me, too,” Hoseok waves away your concerns. “I don’t mind at all. Sort of nice to have company.”
You stop. On the bus rides to and from competitions, you had always liked those few minutes of privacy. Granted, you were on a bus, but being alone with strangers passing by in your life has always brought you some sense of peace. You put in your headphones and stare out the window and think to yourself. Think about your life, your work, your music. It’s calming.
But this is calming, too. Driving home when the moon is high in the navy blue sky, the radio volume low but still audible, filling up the car. You and Hoseok don’t ever really speak too much, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have things to say to each other. The moment was just never right.
But this one is.
“Yeah, I guess it is.”
You’re barely paying attention to the road when you notice Hoseok slowing down on the highway, almost coming to full halt as the red and blue lights of am ambulance swirl around ahead of you.
“Is your seatbelt on?” Hoseok asks.
You turn just to double check. “Yeah, why?”
“Looks like there was an accident up ahead,” Hoseok says, motioning to the hubbub in front of you. It’s late at night, and there aren’t many cars, but there are enough to cause a bit of a pileup on this heavily-trafficked highway.
“Oh.”
“We might be a little longer than expected,” Hoseok tells you as the car creaks to a stop. Even though this highway is often busy, there are only two lanes, and both of them seem to be blocked by emergency vehicles at this time. You might have to wait a bit.
“That’s okay,” you tell him, letting the soft rock of the radio play out throughout the car. The slow tempo of the song matches the beat of your heart. Thump. Thump. Thump. You turn to Hoseok, smiling. “I don’t mind spending more time with you.”
Hoseok grins back. “Me neither,” he says.
please no more drabble requests for now, but i may open them again soon!
